The teams have been confirmed and the match schedules updated for the 2014 Jazz Town Duals, hosted by Jesuit High School at the Xavier University Convocation Center.  Round # 1 starts on Saturday at 9 a.m. with subsequent rounds starting at 10:30, 12:15, 2:00 and 4:00.  Sunday's competition starts at 9:15 and subsequent placement rounds follow at 11:00, 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00.  For a list of the dual meets to be contested in each round on Saturday, click here. Ten mats will be utilized during the tournament, which is in a team dual meet format.

The pools have been reorganized into two sets with five teams and two sets with four teams.  The RENEGADE team consists of members the Crusader, New Orleans and Ocean Springs, MS wrestling clubs as well as non-club-affiliated individual entrants.  Members of this group will also be available to fill in spots required by teams not competing in matches for the higher placements.

It is hard to determine how the spring freestyle and Greco-Roman seasons, as well as other variables, will serve those who participated in them.  Hence it is all but impossible to predict which matches or dual meets will prove the most exciting.  But suggested matches to watch for on Saturday, based on accomplishments in the 2013-14 wrestling season, are listed below:
